Methadone maintenance is a method of treatment for individuals in Newton who are addicted to heroin or prescription opioid medications. This form of treatment has been in existence for a very long time, and the general notion is that individuals are no longer involved in the drug seeking activities that was brought on by their addiction because the methadone that they are being administered satiates cravings and prevents withdrawal symptoms. Similar to heroin, methadone is a full opioid agonist and stimulates the same receptors in the brain as heroin and other powerful pain killers. This is what makes methadone so successful as a substitute for heroin and prescription pain killers.
Individuals involved in methadone maintenance have to dose every day to avoid withdrawal from the methadone itself. This may be financially and logistically burdensome, but some people find it a better alternative to a heroin addiction. However, people beginning methadone maintenance ought to realize that methadone detoxification is known to be way more difficult than even heroin detoxification and withdrawal. Once on a high dosage of methadone, there are some detoxification programs that will not take methadone maintenance clients because detox can be very difficult and rates of relapse are very high.
